PS: PS: I didn't expect it to be so late, but fortunately I didn't owe. Strive for an early tomorrow. Thank you all for your support.

=====================================================

I was amazed at the number of these big bats and their sudden appearance. It seems that the big bats in the underground cave have appeared here, and where the fire shines, the big bats look like gliders with hateful faces and fangs.

Beyond the firelight, at the junction of light and black, the figures of large bats that flickered from time to time were densely packed, like ant colonies. I can't even imagine how they managed to maintain a flying attitude without falling down at the same time. The density is so great that it seems to me that they are almost close together, and there is no room to fly at all.

Big bats are more afraid of fire. At this moment, I confirm this information. At the moment when the three torches were lit at the same time, the circle of bats gathered around the small boat suddenly enlarged. It is like a miasma in the light of fire, which is excluded from the light by the light and heat of the fire.

"We need more torches." Tang Yumo said breathlessly. She seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment she had just had, which made me feel a little more at ease, and I didn't want to be questioned by her about it, even in private. Of course, if she pursues it, I will definitely pretend to be confused about this matter.

The big bat was forced away by the fire of the torch, which also gave the fat man and Tang Yumo a moment of respite.

The fat man was still staring at his red eyes. But at this moment, the red of his eyes was no longer the red of cracking his eyes caused by anger and severe pain, but the red of blood. In the light of the fire, the fat man looked like a demon who had just crawled out of the blood prison, and the bright red blood soaked all over his body, from his bald head, fat face, and from the thick and moist blood. The hem of the garment, clinging to the round bucket-like body, trickled down.

It is not known whose blood is his or that of the big bat. I don't know if it was the hot blood, or the heat from the crazy fat man, and his body was steaming upwards like an uncovered steamer.

Tang Yumo's face and body were also dripping with blood, but it was far less terrifying than the fat man. Under the color of blood. I couldn't see Tang Yumo's face clearly, but I could see her expression, and there was white space on her face. It was a kind of calmness in the midst of extreme excitement.

The cleanest was Jack, who was alone in the bow of the boat. There were blood stains on his body and face, but they were not in a single piece, but in dots of blood, and at a glance it was obvious that the blood of a large bat had fallen from above.

"Fuck. Give me a torch. The fat man said to me with his eyes fixed on Jack.

This cargo saw the crux of the problem before me, not that he recruited the big bat at the stern, but that the big bat deliberately avoided the torch at the bow and concentrated the main direction of attack on the stern.

I finally got up to my feet. Torches held high in both hands. Stir up a turbulent stream of bats overhead. Like the water at low tide, exit a piece of space corresponding to the torch's aperture.

I threw a torch to the fat man. Torches fly from the bow to the stern of the ship, drawing a parabola of fire in the air, but like a wolf rushing into a flock of sheep, or a shark rushing into a school of sardines, causing the whole flock or fish to flinch in panic.

The fat man reached out and grabbed the torch, and let out a sinister smile that I felt as I heard it.

"Dog day, you dare to fight me with such an obvious flaw. Can't cut you and can't burn you? ”

The fat man said with a sly smile. As he spoke, saliva and blood splattered out.

"You're hurt?" I asked nervously.

"Take advantage of their chaos. Hurry up and row downstream, don't wait for them to react. The low temperatures downstream can make them inflexible. Tang Yumo shouted in a louder voice.

"They're afraid of fire, don't you see? They didn't dare to come down. I yelled.

I'm more concerned about the fat man, and although he's crazy and tough, I think there's something wrong with him. The blood on his body made it impossible for me to see if he had any external injuries. But the blood splashing out of his mouth couldn't be faked. If he starts to hold on now, it will be impossible to make it to the end and get out of here alive.

"What the are you hurting?" I turned my head and yelled at the fat man again.

The fat man smashed his mouth full of blood foam. "What's wrong with me? Who the can hurt me. ”

This time I kind of understood, and the blood foam I saw spurting out of this thing's mouth was purely his breath. Blew out the blood that ran down his face. It's a bit redundant to worry about this thing.

"Didn't you notice anything changed in these big bats? You've eaten this stuff before. ”

Tang Yumo's words and the fat man's words came to my ears almost at the same time. It can be seen that she is really anxious, under normal circumstances, she will not communicate with the fat man, let alone talk to the fat man.

"Their blood turned red. What does it mean? Jack's voice remained steady.

"They're maturing fast. Something makes them feel in crisis, they speed up their maturation. The power of the devil's curses has increased, and if we don't get rid of them as soon as possible, we will most likely not be able to get rid of them. ”

"Can they change their instinct to be afraid of fire?" I interjected.

I'm most concerned about this issue. They all had weapons, and the most of them had straight knives, and I had only teeth left but burning sticks.

"No, they are born with a fear of fire, and fire can be fatal to them. But for an intelligent being, the solution to the problem is not just evasion, and these big bats that have inherited the devil's mind will have even crazier strategies. ”

"What will happen to them?"

"How do I know! Do you think I've experienced something like this? Tang Yumo roared like a female leopard again. But I know that we have to get rid of them in the shortest possible time, they will not always be in this state, they are afraid of fire, but they are even more afraid of not being able to complete their mission. The will of the devil will make them give up their fear of fire. ”

"Don't yell at me any devil's curse. I know what I'm doing! "I was already resentful of being trampled under my feet by her and the fat man, kicking over and stepping on it, but now I couldn't help but roar out.

But I know that Tang Yumo is right about one thing, we must get rid of these big bats as soon as possible. It is no accident that they appear here, and I certainly know where their nests are, in the upper reaches of the underground river, far from here. If they come out with their nests and appear here without making the slightest sound, it means that they are not following us to catch up, but are here in ambush in advance, waiting for us to collide.

Tang Yumo said that they have accelerated their maturity, which I can't understand, but it seems true that these big bats have a certain amount of intelligence, but I believe that this simple wisdom is innate to them.

I handed the other torch to Jack beside me.

"Cover us." Then he said to Tang Yumo: "Boating, I hope they are not as smart as you say." ”

With that, I sat down in the cabin and grabbed an oar.

Suddenly, I heard an unusually noisy sound in my head. It didn't seem to pass through my ears, it went straight to my brain. (To be continued......)
